Mondi, a global leader in sustainable packaging and paper, launches its re/cycle PaperPlus Bag Advanced, a high-performance paper bag designed to protect humidity-sensitive goods while significantly reducing plastic content.
The innovative solution protects powdery products by offering excellent moisture barrier performance and supporting recyclability.
PaperPlus Bag Advanced is a paper bag with a high-performance barrier film that reduces plastic usage in the building and construction industry. The paper bag features a thin, high-performance 20 µm film to maintain moisture protection for humidity-sensitive products. Compared to bags with a 50µm film, it uses up to 60% less plastic and has a lower carbon footprint according to Mondi’s in-house lifecycle-based PIA (Product Impact Assessment) tool, while offering a comparable level of product protection. As part of Mondi’s re/cycle portfolio, we have tested PaperPlus Bag Advanced and confirmed it to be recyclable according to the CEPI test method and 4Evergreen evaluation protocol.
The product was developed as part of Mondi’s long collaboration with flooring systems producer UZIN to protect its fast-drying flooring solution. With its advanced water vapor barrier, the PaperPlus Bag Advanced keeps materials safe and dry, even in demanding conditions. Importantly, it runs seamlessly on existing filling and sealing lines, allowing for fast adoption without changes to production equipment.
PaperPlus Bag Advanced is a future-ready alternative for customers seeking to reduce plastic and meet performance demands without compromising on efficiency. At Mondi, we are ready to support our customers, considering the environmental impacts of our products at each stage of the value chain. We are actively working to offer solutions that contribute to a circular economy while fully tailoring them to our customers’ needs, in line with our MAP2030 goals.
